Twin Tensioned Highline Anchors with Removable Bolts

Twin Tensioned Highline Anchors with Removable Bolts

Twin Tensioned Highline Anchors with Removable Bolts In high-angle or canyon-based rescue environments, systems must perform reliably while minimizing their environmental footprint. This twin tensioned highline system was specifically built with that balance in mind. It uses removable bolt anchors (RBs) set into solid stone to create a symmetrical, load-sharing configuration that supports both operational
